Ingredients

Scale
  • 1–1/4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup pecans (chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free reduced-sodium tamari
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine gluten-free flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken thigh thoroughly in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear chicken thighs for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Carefully add chicken broth to the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the bottom to enhance flavor.
  4. Stir in maple syrup, chopped pecans, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, tamari, and dried rosemary; bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Nestle seared chicken back into the sauce and cover loosely with foil. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and flavors meld.
